Ok, so could someone build the i386 release of newt? I don't have access to
such hardware (running potato I mean). I tried the machines avail to
developers (aka murphy, pandora, saens, samosa, va and master), but either I
don't have an account on or the others don't have every packages required to
build newt (eg. python-dev) installed.
Regards.
PS: Is there a way to install a package on an accessible Debian developer
machine or request an admin to install one? I didn't find useful
information on the web site about this topic.
